Course Format
The day is split into 4 x 1 hour modules, taught by 2 x professional pianists, with each focusing on a different improvisation method. Learn all of the tips and tricks of the trade, through theory, music and drum tracks, but spent entirely at a high quality instrument (that you'll have to yourself for the day).

what's required
- Piano/keys playing ability of a Grade 5+ Standard - This does not have to be evidenced/certificated, but you'll get so much more out of the day if you're a proficient player. - Theory understanding is not essential however.
- A desire to Improvise in a fresh way - Are you tired of playing the same few boring chops/musical ideas? Do you feel that your existing improvisation style is limited/repetitive? When you're asked to solo in a live situation do you feel put on the spot? Maybe you just want to impress other musicians or even your mates - THIS IS FOR YOU!
- Wired earphones/headphones - These are required on the day for several playing tasks, and in the intersts of hygiene it would be great if you have your own! Adapters will be provided.
- Lunch - A packed lunch or money to grab some lunch from several local options.
when is it?
We're running the first one during our February half term break this year. This will be on either Monday 12th, Tuesday 13th, or Wednesday 14th of Feb. On the registration of interest form below we'll ask you to tick all of the dates you can do, and we'll tailor the course to the availability of those wanting to take part.
what's the cost?
The total cost of the day is: £99. However for current piano/keys students of the school this is reduced to £85. Due to the preparation for the day, and the fact that there'll be two keys professionals on hand all day, we believe this is to be at a very reasonable cost.
There's nothing to pay when you fill in the form below for your place.
